| | Europe Out Of This World CD Europe Discography of CDs
One look at the song titles and you know you're not in for any surprises ("Open Your Heart," "More Than Meets the Eye," "Ready or Not," "Never Say Die"). Still, Europe produces made-to-order lite metal with admirable craftsmanship and occasionally memorable hooks. "Superstitious" even has a disarming gospel quality. This is hard rock with all the edges sanded off. Capable lead singer Joey Tempest carries the tunes with nonthreatening panache, while Kee Marcello (who proved his virtuosity on Europe's previous by performing "Flight of the Bumblebee") provides plenty of nice guitar solos. ~ Andy Hinds
Europe: Joey Tempest (vocals); Kee Marcello (guitar); Mic Michaeli (keyboards); John Leven (bass); Ian Haugland (drums).

Out Of This World

This is a brand new 1988 digital remix done especially for CD by Norbert Putnam, who produced the original album.
Over the course of his career, Dan Fogelberg has become identified with a particular sort of heavily arranged soft rock. It is therefore particularly interesting to listen to his first album and hear him experimenting, seeking the balance between an overtly countrified sound and something more original and personal. Some things about Home Free show that Fogelberg had figured out his strengths well before he went near the studio. The songs here are better and more coherent than much of his later work, with a directness that makes it easy to gloss over the occasional banalities and platitudes. As always, his splendid delivery makes it easy to excuse the lyrical flaws; nobody else ever sounded this confessional and meditative while singing in front of a full orchestra. That string section appears on most tracks and sometimes verges on intrusive. Indeed, at times Norbert Putnam's production sounds so cinematic that one wonders if this is a film score, as on the opening "To the Morning." Happily, not every cut is this heavily produced, and lighter tunes like "Stars" and "Wysteria" have hints of country and bluegrass along with album-oriented rock in a style similar to Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young or the Eagles. Sometimes the influences are very overt; the album's closer, "The River," sounds like a Neil Young outtake, from the bleak subject matter to the spare, pounding piano arrangement. Fogelberg toyed with a variety of styles on his first release, and though things aren't completely integrated, the album is all the better for it.
When it was re-released on CD in the late '80s, Home Free was remixed -- apparently by Fogelberg and Putnam -- possibly because the original mix did have a certain muddiness that was difficult to overcome using the digital technology of the period, and many of the songs on the resulting Sony Music CD sound quite different in texture and detail ...

Out Of This World
$15.19
If their friends in the group American Speedway cruise down the highway in overdrive, the Ray Gradys are a 45 rpm disc played at 78, high-powered punk rock with hardcore leanings that blasts it out in mostly short spurts like the under-three-minute "A Letter from Earth," and the equally clever title track, "Rednecks, Zombies and Terrorists," which clocks in at just a little over two minutes. Don't try to figure out what is being said, this is spitfire poetry that will make the best rapper's head spin and you'll need to enlarge the lyrics enclosed in the gatefold by about 200-percent, but that won't make them any more optimistic. These gents take on a number of social and political concepts, as well as God himself, with a rumbling thunder and some searing guitar in "Pointing Fingers" and relentless hooks in "Conformity (Is What They Want)," a little reggae mixed in with the blitzkrieg and anti-social commentary. A nice revolutionary tune for the post-Jefferson Airplane "Volunteers" set, or the grandchildren of those '60s revolutionaries. "Holiday in Iraq" is clearly an answer to Dead Kennedys' "Holiday in Cambodia," though more of a parody than the sinister pop event that the DKs unleashed on the world. And Biafra himself has dubbed the group "poppy," though that definition is surely mutated. The longest track is a combo, a bizarre and frenetic cover of David Bowie's "Magic Dance" from the Labyrinth film which, after two minutes and forty nine seconds, includes an honest-to-goodness Richard Nixon tape gap that picks up at 4:51 for some bongos and acoustics. The Ray Gradys are more musical than the world might think and if they actually went after a "Holiday in Cambodia" type of musical statement and message they could do some serious damage. As it stands Rednecks, Zombies and Terrorists plays like a new millennium Dickies with Dictators attitude. Not a bad thing, but not quite what it appears they are capable of. ~ Joe Viglione
Since 1996 The Ray Gradys have been impressing audiences around the world with their creative songwriting and outspoken lyrics. The music is a blend of West Coast Punk and East Coast Hardcore, but is still influenced by old school '77 style Punk Rock.The Ray Gradys formed in Charlotte North Carolina in 1996. A very young Earl-y and former bassist, Jon, wanted to start a punk band with no rules or limitations, ...
